Jogging stroller recs, please!

[ladyextravaganza]

Anyone love their jogging stroller?

In case it matters, I run with it on pavement and live in a very hilly area.

I never intended to be a runner, so I have just been running with the stroller I already had:
www.amazon.com/Jeep-Liberty-Limited-Terrain-Stroller/dp/B003PNJ1YA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1337821980&sr=8-3
But it is crazy heavy (30lbs), then add my 30lb DS and it has made my runs very challenging.

TIA!

BOB Revolution! We had a Jeep with DD #1 and hated it. I run a ton now, so we decided to upgrade to a BOB when DD #2 was born since we knew we'd get several more years' use out of it. Worth every penny!

Another vote for the BOB Rev!! I don't have any kids, but my sister got one when she had my nephew & we LOVE it (I was/am very involved in the kids' lives) so I recommend it to everyone I know who is active & expecting, & every person who buys it agrees; it just ROCKS!!

It is quite a bit of $, but IMO totally worth it if you are going to use the thing for more then just walks around the block on a sidewalk. I constantly refer to it as the ATV of strollers, its totally awesome off-road. Think like, soccer games, etc. where you are pushing a stroller through a grass field, the BOB just rolls right over the top of any terrain! Not like fighting w/a regular stroller to get through the grass or over rocks, etc...!

I *think* you can rent them @ REI if you want to test it out before you buy it. Last time I was there I saw a couple, w/a VERY preggo woman, over @ the rental desk w/one. I was *this* close to going over to them & telling them "don't even bother renting it, you will love it, just buy it!!"

We have gotten more than our money's worth (only $109!) out of our BabyTrend Phantom Jogger from Target. It folds easily, has a giant underneath storage basket, tray with cupholders for baby, nearly 180* movable canopy, cupholders and secure closed compartment for my keys, full recline, 5-pt harness, runaway strap, lockable front wheel. My only complaint is that it wobbles with the wheel unlocked, but since I never use it that way, it's not a problem.

I'm another BOB lover. I swore I'd never have one because of how pricey they are, but I'm the proud owner of Duallie Revolution and absolutely love it. I bought it used off Craigslist and it has been worth every penny. I've owned a lot of strollers in the past few years (including other joggers) and this is, hands down, the best one I've owned.

I'm a fan of the Bob Revolution as well. I've had both a single and the duallie.

Another vote for the BOB Revolution here! Still using it with my almost 4 year old. She's a peanut weight wise, but is starting to get a little tall for it.

Another BOB fan! We liked it well enough that we have two BOBs so that we can keep one at my Dad's house.

We have the Baby Jogger City Elite, and I am definitely a fan. Im not sure how it price compares to the BOB, but we liked how to "drove" when we took it for a "test spin" at the store when registering.

My parents also bought a jogging stroller for me to keep at their house. Its a lot cheaper ($200ish I think) and isnt as smooth a ride, but gets the job done. I think its the Expedition or something like that...

Thank you, ladies. I bit the bullet and got a Bob this weekend since they were on sale and BRU. I love it so far!

You will not regret it. It's one of the best things I have ever bought for myself in my entire life.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I think, "I forgot to lock my car". I get out of bed, go outside, and lock my car. Not because I care if someone steals the vehicle itself, but because the BOB is in the back.

I have the baby trend double stroller. I love it and works well for me and I have had it for 1.5 years now. The only reason why I didn't get a BOB was because I just spent $$$$ on a BJSC and I didn't want to drop that much money on another stroller. Ive never ran with a BOB so I don't know what I'm missing.

I am sure you will be satisfied. my kids are turning 3 in 2 months (omg) and we are still using ours regularly.

it was funny, this morning i was getting breakfast ready and they were not at their table...they were in the jogging stroller. who can say no to that?

I did this over the weekend! My car is insured, the BOB is not
